Default Snow traction, or NOT !!!

BMW fans have posted a lot of their video's bragging about great traction on Utube and various other websites. I doubt they'd like to see this one http://www.11alive.com/video/default...a/744383646001 . In all fairness it's a rear VS front wheel drive but who ever thought you could spin the car around and stop it with just spinning the tires in drive ??? The cause of the fire is after losing traction and spinning around, he applied power through the rear wheels to stop the car (what happened to brakes for that). The spinning tires caught fire and it was caught by the news crew.

The start of the video seems to have a sound problem but it's long and dthe sound comes and goes. Guess he pulled out the jack or something. It was filmed early this morning during our Dixie Snow Storm.

Sorry for being out of context with the thread but ...
Enjoy

The ultimate Burning machine.

I guess Bimmers literally are 'hotter' than Lexus . . .
